Rhythm Wolf thru Moog Freqbox & Circuit Mono Station (Transversent Waves)

video upload by HardtekStudios

"Got a nice team effeort with this one. The Rhythm Wolf bass synth is being processed by the Moog Moogerfooger Freqbox. The Circuit Monostation is playing another bassline, and it's modulation sequencer is routed to the CV output which is controlling the frequency of the Freqbox. Fun little tunes before I tweak it out of control."

Jamming on newest Circuit Tracks Custom Sample Pack (Hardtek Drums part 1)

video upload by HardtekStudios

"Several years ago, I created a drum library of 128 completely custom hits. I never did anything with it until it finally hit (haha) me! Make Circuit Tracks packs with them. Here is a jam featuring several drums from the first of two packs. They have been tweaked by the Circuit Tracks and are going through verb & delay. But no outside processing was applied. Should I start selling my custom Packs? Tell me what you think!"

Another new Custom Circuit Tracks Sample Pack (Hardtek Drums part 2)

video upload by HardtekStudios

"This is the sequel video to my last upload. Showing off just a few of the drum & percussion sound in the second half of my custom drum library. I went for less Circuit Tracks FX & synths in this one to keep it focus on the samples. No other external processing was involved. I'm currently looking for my best options to distribute these two sample packs and my Toybox sample pack. Feel free to throw in some suggestions!"

The Crumbling Circuit

video upload by HardtekStudios

"This track comes from overusing and abusing the Probability feature of the Novation Circuit Tracks. Almost every instrument and every pattern uses it heavily, alongside the micro step feature for some buzzes, rolls & ratcheting. The soundest is my Toybox collection. Made from sampling toy keyboards. It was recorded into the Zoom L-12 Livetrack and then exported into Logic for some mixing."

Circuit Tracks and Timbre Wolf (Electro Tribal Crab Dance)

video upload by HardtekStudios

"Every time I go to start up a new jam, I can't help but grab the Novation Circuit Tracks. This time, I'm pairing it with the Akai Timbre Wolf. I think it compliments the digital sounding Circuit Tracks perfectly! Midi track 2 from the Tracks is sequencing the Timbre Wolf. I could have just synced up the Sequencer from the Timbre Wolf, but having all those instruments in one spot makes jamming so much more fluid. I recorded the Circuit Tracks and the Timbre Wolf separately using the Zoom L-12 Livetrack and imported those into Logic for mixing and processing with Compressors and EQ. I'm using a different style of compressing than normal, so tell me what you think."

Rhythm Wolf thru TP-2 and Moogerfooger MuRF (Steel Wall Wizard)
video upload by HardtekStudios

"With this setup, I have the Drums and Bass Synth of the Akai Rhythm Wolf going into the Korg TP-2 Tube Preamp & Compressor. The Drum output of the TP-2 is routed into the Zoom L-12 Livetrack for recording,. But the Synth Bass output gets processed by the Moog Moogerfooger MuRF, using the static sequence mode. Then to the L-12 Livetrack for recording. All of this is then uploaded into Logic for mixing."

The Hunting of the Gathering (Akai Tom Cat & Timbre Wolf, Kawai K1m thru Moog MF Delay)

Published on Oct 25, 2018 HardtekStudios

"Download the audio track for FREE here-https://soundcloud.com/hardtek-studio...

They have gathered, only to be hunted. This jam features TWO different recorded parts! The first features the Akai Tom Cat & Timbre Wolf providing some doom-y beats & basslines while the second has the Kawai K1m thru the Moog Minifooger Delay. Both tracks were recorded & edited in Logic with some compression, EQ and two different reverb sends. I normally edit my video in an older version of iMovie, but for the video effects I needed I had to use the newest version. Unfortunately, this version of iMovie has a glitch were the video & audio fall out of sync with each other. Maybe Apple will fix this one day. Until then, have a Happy Halloween!"

Circuit Bent Kawasaki Drum Machine thru Moog MF Delay

Published on Oct 16, 2018 HardtekStudios

"This Circuit Bent Drum Machine is available for purchase on Ebay!

This is a simple bent instrument where I can change the pitch & tempo at once with the large black knob on the right. It also has an audio output for FX processing(like the Moog Minifooger Delay) & recording. Finally there is a switch which will turn off the speaker, but has a side effect of distorting the audio. This video has it ran thru the Moog Minifooger Delay with lots of delay time tweaking in addition to the time tweaking of the bent drum machine. Recorded into Logic with no additional processing."

via this auction

"This Kawasaki Drum Machine has been Circuit Bent to include a pitch/tempo knob that will raise the pitch & tempo of the drum pattern simultaneously. It also includes a 1/8th" audio output. There is a switch that will turn off the internal speaker for studio use, but has a side effect of having a distorted or bit crushed sound to it. There are video demos of the unit on Hardtek Studios Youtube page. Again the Yellow Pads DO NOT work!"

Cerberus' Four Heads (Akai Timbre Wolf thru Elektron Octatrack MK2)

Published on Sep 27, 2018 HardtekStudios

"Download the audio track for FREE here-https://soundcloud.com/hardtek-studios/cerberus-four-heads
In this video, I have the four individual outs of the Akai Timbre Wolf Going into the four individual inputs of the Elektron Octatrack MK2. Each Octatrack channel has two fx applied to each Timbre Wolf part, to twist them into very different sounds from each other. Even thought they are exactly the same synthesizerx4. Joining these mangled Wolves are metal hits for the main kick & snare, a hyper, chopped up drum loop, and lots of sound design loops. Each mangled by there own set of FX with lots of crossfader controlled scenes to further the animation of sound. The eight part is used asa a master channel for full mix filtering & compression. A bit of extra compression, EQ and verb was added in Logic."

Vintage Synths: Sounds of the K1m

Published on Sep 2, 2018 HardtekStudios

"I don't bring in the K1m during my my jams much, but felt it still needed a bit of screen time, so check out the interesting, FM like but not, sound of the Kawai K1m."

Arcade Sounds with the Moots (DFAM, Mother-32 & Freqbox)

Published on Aug 30, 2018 HardtekStudios

"Moog! Please don't take our Moogerfoogers away!
This jam I am getting some hard & nasty classic arcade sounds by routing the Moog Mother-32 thru the Moogerfooger Freqbox. The Moog DFAM is providing a sides scrolling drum sequence for the arcade sounds to crackle against. Lots of patches cables run between the M-32 & DFAM and the M-32 is using it's Envelope and LFO to further modulate the Freqbox! If you like what the Freqbox is doing here, then snatch one up as soon as you can, because Moog Music and announced the discontinuation of the entire Moogerfooger line."

Patch Flip Jam from Novation Circuit Mono Station

Published on Jun 21, 2018 HardtekStudios

"The Patch Flip feature from the newest update of the Novation Circuit Mono Station is amazing! I have a pre program jam using the Patch Flip function ready to play, and then I copy the pattern across multiple pads, modifying in real time as I go with variations and lots of motion recording. This was recorded into Logic with no additional processing."

Novation Circuit Mono Station 1.2 Update & Patch Flipping

Published on Jun 18, 2018 HardtekStudios

"An insane update has hit the Novation Circuit Mono Station, allowing you to turn on and off Legato and LFO Key Sync, use the Mod Sequencer to transmit note & Gate information, and best of all Patch Flipping! You can sequence a different patch for every step for crazy synth patterns and analog drum patterns!"

Lycanthropy in Space (Novation Circuit Mono Station & Akai Rhythm Wolf thru Moog Freqbox)

Published on Jun 17, 2018 HardtekStudios

"I wanted to finish this up so I could update my Novation Circuit Mono Station to 1.2! The Akai Rhythm Wolf is providing the analog drums while it's bass is routed from it's individual output to the Moog Moogerfooger Freqbox. The Freqbox is further manipulated with the Circuit Mono Stations LFO, Envelope and Modulation sequencer. All those CV signals routed thru the Aux CV out into the CV in controlling the Freqbox's envelope depth. The Circuit Monostation is playing the lead with lots of recorded modulations. Recorded, edited & mixed in Logic with a bit of compression, eq & verb."

The Synthorcist (Moog DFAM, Mother-32, Freqbox & MF Delay)

Published on Jun 7, 2018 HardtekStudios

"The waveforms of the Moog DFAM, Mother-32 & Freqbox are possessing each other into an analog demon of multiple heads thirteens of knobs. Cables ran back & forth connects their neurons into one mind of many voices. The MF Delay allows it's spirit to linger for far too long."

Funny action figure.

Quirkin' the Lurkin' (Moog DFAM & Mother-32, Novation Circuit Mono Station & Bent Alesis SR-16)

Published on May 31, 2018 HardtekStudios

"The Moogs are patched in the same way there were in the last video with a little bit of fine tuning. The DFAM is Kicking it while the Mother-32 plays an evolving filter sequence. The Bass and lead lines are both coming from the superpower Novation Circuit Monostation, which is also proving the CV sequence to control the Mother-32's filter. Finally all the other percussion is taking care of by the brutally reliable Circuit Bent Alexis SR-16! This was all recorded and then edited & mixed in Logic with a bit of compression, Eq & verb. This track was so much fun to produce and I hope it gets you moving' and/or groovin'!"

That Semi Modular BAAAASS! (Moog DFAM & Mother-32)

Published on May 27, 2018 HardtekStudios

"That sub is cranking with my newest all Moog Semi-Modular jam. DFAM is kicking while the Mother-32 has that beefy wobble. The DFAM is sharing it's sequencer with the Mother-32 while unloads some of the LFO into it's signal chain. Of coarse, plenty more patches are filling out this crazy jam."
